Saving / Managing color palette for DOS window

[michaeljnc]

I'd like to know if there is way to save the palette settings
for DOS windows. For some reason, there are different settings
for Command.com and CMD.exe sessions and I have adjusted the
color settings in some DOS programs to fit the new palette
but do not know how to save / restore / recreate them. Is there
a Win XP DOS palette management utility that can do this?
I suppose that these settings are in the registry and could
be exported to a .reg/.hiv file if I new the key(s).

Thanks,
Mike

When you apply a change with cmd.exe a window pops up.

It has these two options:
* Apply properties to current window only
* Modify shortcut that started this window

Click Modify shortcut that started this window to apply *whatever* every
time you start cmd.exe.

When you apply a change with command.com a window pops up.

It has these two options:
* Apply properties to current window only
* Save properties for future windows with the same title

Click Save properties for future windows with the same title to apply
*whatever* every time you start command.com.
